I have known Shirley from the early days of my blogging adventure, and the first time I saw her work, I remember falling in love immediately with her most beloved character, Monsieur Olivet. Within his world, Shirley has created such a warm and magical realm of woodland creatures that I'm sure has captured so many hearts. As a children's book illustrator, Shirley is incredibly imaginative with her character designs, creating some of the most lovable characters I've ever came across. To find out more about her work, follow her blog or visit her shop and find yourself in a magical world!

Rose Hill Designs
Rose Hill Designs is created by the very lovely Heather Stillufsen, an artist with a passion for children's illustration. She loves to draw and paint, finding inspirations in pretty things and her two daughters, Summer and Saylor. Her whimsical style is shown in all of her illustration works, showing adorable girls and boys, but most of all little animal friends that are both sweet and lovable. Heather has a line of children and nursery art in her shop, a place I know you'll love to see!

ReplyDeleteLovely drawings of two talented artists - cheerful, tender and funny! I looked at them and the noise around disappeared, and the light through the window became brighter, and my soul smiled for some minutes...:)
ReplyDeleteI adore children books' illustrations! They are connected with my work, yes, but maybe I have been wearing with me this sweet passion since childhood... The truth is that searching for children's illustration in Internet was the reason to create my blog and thus to find my inspirational, tiny place in Blogland! And there you have a special place, Amalia!xx
Simply Beautiful! Makes me wish I was child again!!
